Japanese Aircraft Online Model Contest 004 - LEON KLOKE

Hey there!
I hope I am not too late to sent you some pictures of my just finished Hayabusa.
I build it just for the contest and I am quite satisfied with the results - at least for my standards. I hope you like it. The scale is 1/72. Manufacturer is special hobby.

Leon Kloke - Germany

As promised I send some more photographs of the reworked/more detailed Hayabusa. She really was a nice build - except the engine cowling which was a real pain! Well I know she isn´t a show-stopper. As mentioned before I am very pleased with the result. She was built OOB except from some cockpit detail, added wires to the landing gear and some improvement of the gun-sight.

The finish is hand-brushed. The model depicts a machine from 64th Sentai in Burma 1944. She might be a bit too weathered but anyway I like it that way. Thank you for sharing!

Nice effort for this particular airframe! I also have the same kit waiting in my stash. In my opinion, if the photos were taken a bit better, it would bring out more of the finer details from your build.3.8 for me.

Thank you all very much for your comments!I tried to bring this one in at the very last minutes of the former deadline. Everything was in a little hurry though.I took the photographs with my cellphone which isn´t quite the best of cams. I also didn´t have had the time to give her a more nice and accurate finish. Some details were still missing also. Maybe I will get some nicer photos of her online before the newest deadline ends!

Again thank you all for commenting. It´s nice to see ones own work rated!
